Best Gas Grill Inspired By Work

Each gas grill has a rating known as BTUs-British
Thermal Units – a measure of the amount of heat the grill can generate. More
and more grill manufacturers are pumping out grills with ever higher BTU
numbers, and consumers rely on these numbers as a measure of the grill’s
performance. So, what’s the deal: Are BTUs really important?

I’ll go ahead and say no: our two best grill
picks had fewer BTUs per square foot of cooking surface than the competition,
produced evenly cooked food and offered a more enjoyable cooking experience. In
fact, one of our least popular grills had the highest BTUs in the group!

BTUs don’t necessarily give you a good measure of
how the design of the grill affects the cooked food. It’s also important to
remember that higher BTU grills burn faster through propane, and if the lid
isn’t firmly attached to the grill, all the heat won’t stay in anyway.

At the end of the day, BTUs are simply an
indication of how much heat your grill can produce, not how hot it actually
gets into your grill. So, look at the number if you want, but don’t put too
much stuff in it.

Tips for the gas barbecue test

1.
Consider the convenience

Some cars have two wheels and two feet, so you
need to lift one side to move the grill. It is nice to have wheels or castors
on all four legs.

Look for an electronic igniter that relies on
batteries to generate a spark and that glows lighter than a rotary and push
button starter.

3. See
construction

Do you like the look of stainless steel? You
might not stay long at this price. That’s because not all stainless steel is
the same. To keep prices low, manufacturers tend to use thin gauge stainless
steel, which can result in a weak grill that looks good in the showroom. Not
using stainless steel for a well-done, lacquered or porcelain-coated enamelled
steel could give you a grill that lasts longer.

4. Check
the grill. In this price range, the parts are usually
screwed together, not welded, so make sure they are tight. The fewer screws,
the better (screws can rust).

5. Lift
the grids and check what they are made of.
Porcelain-coated cast iron can flake and rust. With stainless steel gratings
you do not have to worry about chipping or scratches. And both are better able
to produce and maintain even temperatures than the light wire mesh we have seen
on some models.

6. Burners
are the industry’s most replaced part, and a warranty
of one year or less is an indication that a grill for this world could not last
long. In this price range, warranties typically last one to five years; favour
the grill with the longest warranty you can find.

7. Check
for strength

A thin grill will bend or bend when you move it
across your patio or pull it from your deck into the garage to store it in
winter. And the robustness can vary depending on the grids you screw together.
Lift the lid halfway and push it from side to side to see how much the frame
twists. Make sure the wheels are firmly tightened.

Gas or charcoal – How do you
decide?

In the eternal debate about whether a gas or
charcoal grill is better for outdoor cooking, there is no wrong answer. If you
prepare your food on the grill and not indoors, it will capture this beautiful
charred essence and smoky taste when cooking over an open fire. You probably
already have strong opinions about gas versus charcoal and we are not here to
change your mind. If you are still on the fence on this subject, however, here
are the pros and cons of using any type of grill to help you choose the right
one for you. Let’s talk about gas grills first.

Gas grills are more convenient than charcoal
grills. Not using charcoal as fuel not only makes it easier to clean a gas
grill (no ash!) but also shortens the initial heating time. The fact that gas
grills are equipped with electric starters or an ignition wheel to ignite the
gas burner helps you cook faster than charcoal users can. It’s easy to control
the heat more easily when grilling with gas than when using charcoal; to adjust
the heat up and down, just turn a knob instead of fiddling with hot coals. It’s
a hammer when you run out of propane, but we love these newer grills that have
a practical meter right on the side of the grill.

Charcoal grills, on the other hand, are much
cheaper than their gas counterparts. Many people prefer the taste of cooking
over a charcoal grill because the briquettes they use for fuel add smoky
elements to the food. The coals produced by burning these briquettes can burn
hotter than propane or natural gas, which can be a pro or a fraud: You’ll get a
serious burn on your food if that’s what you want, but it’s also easy to burn
your food above 700°F.

Choosing the gas is a relatively
simple decision.

Choosing the gas grill to buy is much more
difficult. From big brand names like Weber (including our favorite Weber Spirit
II E-310 (available at Amazon for $449.00)) to the general grills that pop up
every spring at your grocery store, there are hundreds of options to choose
from.

Before you run to the hardware store to buy a new
gas grill, you should know that there are many more grills than you will find
in a store. We have broken down the best gas grills on the market by price so
you can find the perfect gas grill for you. While many of these gas barbecues
are easy to find, try looking for the best barbecue in specialized barbecue
shops. Updated for 2019.

It’s not really the smell of the food.

Of course, it’s the smell of the burning fuel
that somehow feels more authentic and could even bring back memories of Dad or
Grandpa standing over the grill with a can of lighter fluid in one hand and a
grill fork in the other.
Of course, the rest of the charcoal grill isn’t that
special – at least not in a good way. Apart from the lighter liquid, there is
the heavy bag of charcoal, the long wait for the charcoal to reach the cooking
temperature, the uneven heat of charcoal burning unevenly, and the messy (and
somewhat disgusting) task of unloading the ashes and washing the grill after
the food has been cooked. Let’s not forget the fight to light the charcoal in
windy weather.
